Gearing overhead...Mugello

[alex]

At Mugello what would you gear the bike for? I have a 16T front at the moment and the standard 14,600 Gen 5 limiter. According to Gearing Commander these are the topspeeds for my bike.
Would you go with a 44/45 or 46? I don't think I'll see more than 180 in reality...186 feels a bit too close to that. So I am erring towards the 16/45.
How much overhead of my expected top speed would you leave?

How long is the straight compared to Porto? (and drive speed off the turn into it)

EDIT: Note the Gen3 dashboard over reads...182 was more like 176.

130 at the start of the pitlane entry. At least a 1/3rd longer IMO. Heat was definitely slowing the bike down.

182 on the dash at the end, aboard the Gen3 just nudging 13000rpm.
I might start with the 46 and see how close I can get it, using the extra acceleration.
